LGBT therapists in West Palm Beach, FL

I have a passion for working with tough teens and women who face challenges managing their emotions and behavior and I enjoy walking along side parents struggling to be their best.

With over 30 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with children, teens and adults in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, schools, healthcare settings and private practice.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who takes a holistic and compassionate approach to therapy, supporting the mind, body, and spirit throughout the healing process. I believe people open up where they feel safest and most understood, so creating a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment is one of the most important parts of my work.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings. I specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, ADHD, behavioral challenges, family conflict, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties. I help clients better understand their emotions, patterns, and relationships while building healthier coping skills, stronger self-awareness, and greater confidence in themselves and their lives. I also value incorporating psychoeducation into sessions so clients feel empowered with both insight and practical tools they can apply outside of therapy.

My philosophy is that we are never too old to heal, grow, or rediscover joy. I strive to help clients turn pain into wisdom, reconnect with their strengths, and create meaningful change in their lives.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Sex Therapist. I have over 15 years of experience treating people suffering from a wide range of problems including family problems, relationship problems, parenting issues, depression, anxiety, and sexual disorders. I gained a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Science at Florida State University in 2005, where I learned about people of various cultures. I continued my studies at Florida International University to earn a Master of Science with a major in Psychology and became a Certified Sex Therapist in 2008. Most recently, I completed a Master of Oriental Medicine in 2021. I utilize information and techniques learned in my studies to assist people in developing tools to improve their lives.

Life is going to send a lot of things your way. Things like changes in mood, trauma, depression, etc. Why go at it alone? Let's work together. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA clients looking to explore many areas of life. Areas of focus in my practice include identity development, unpacking trauma, and ADHD assessment and diagnosis. I also enjoy helping folks navigate neurodiversity in interpersonal relationships, and cope with anxiety/depression.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPCMH) with 15+ years of experience across school counseling, crisis intervention, and behavioral health. I hold an M.Ed. in School Counseling and am a Certified School Counselor (1–12). I provide individual telehealth counseling and specialize in supporting students navigating school reintegration after hospitalization, residential placement, or extended absence.

If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone.

’m a bilingual (Spanish-English) therapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, emotional challenges, and relationship stress. I also work with teens and children facing behavioral, academic, and emotional concerns.

I hold Master’s degrees in Social Work from NYU and in Clinical Psychology from the Psychiatric Hospital of Caracas. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical—helping you gain clarity, build self-worth, and create healthier, more secure connections.

I believe meaningful change begins with connection. Let’s start there.

My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.

Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.
